Noel Gallagher: Mick Jagger’s SuperHeavy are ridiculous

Noel Gallagher is open to the idea of forming a supergroup, as long as it doesn’t turn out like
Mick Jagger’s ‘ridiculous’ SuperHeavy.

The guitarist and songwriter is set to release his first post-Oasis album, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, later this month and has chosen low-profile musicians for his band.

Gallagher insisted he was happy with the arrangement, but hinted he would be interested in forming an all-star group in the future – on the proviso he could avoid it sounding like Jagger’s collaboration with Dave Stewart, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and AR Rahman.

‘I’d still love to do that as long as it wasn’t like SuperHeavy. F****** ridiculous,’ he told The Quietus.

‘You know, me, Johnny Marr, Mani and [Paul] Weller, that would be great. But just for now, this suits me well.’

Gallagher added he was confident his solo career would be more successful than that of one of his heroes, Stone Roses guitarist John Squire, who released two albums before deciding to focus on being an artist.

‘People already know what I sound like because I sang on some of the Oasis songs,’ he explained.

‘It wasn’t like when John Squire first went solo and you were like, “F****** hell, is that what he sounds like?” Because no one had heard him sing before.’
